Insulation: Not Just for Winter Comfort
With the extreme temperatures we see here in Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois throughout the winter, most homeowners are aware of the benefits that insulation can provide in cold weather. However, did you know that insulation offers the same protective benefits in the summertime as well?
Diversified Insulation is a full-service insulation company offering high-performance solutions to year-round comfort and efficiency issues. Our residential and commercial insulation services can help you stay cool and comfortable this summer, all while helping you save energy—not use more on running your AC.
How Insulation Works in the Summer
Insulation strengthens the barrier between your home’s living spaces and the outside elements. By preventing heat transfer both in and out of your home, insulation provides year-round protection from the elements along with numerous benefits including:
- Improved Comfort - Upgrading your insulation will reduce or eliminate several common comfort issues, like stuffy rooms upstairs and uneven cooling.
- Energy Savings - Well-insulated homes use less energy for heating & cooling, which often results in lower utility bills throughout the year.
- Noise Reduction - Insulation acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise from outside or between rooms and creating a quieter indoor environment.
- Healthy Indoor Air - Proper insulation can reduce the entry of outdoor pollutants, pollen, dust, and insects into your home, leading to improved indoor air quality.
- Moisture Control - Insulation helps manage humidity levels in your home, reducing the risk of mold growth and related health problems.
- Increased Home Value - Energy efficient homes with effective insulation commonly sell for more than those with outdated insulation.
- Enhanced HVAC Performance - Insulation reduces the workload on your heating & cooling systems, potentially extending their lifespan and improving overall efficiency.
Why You Should Pair Insulation with Air Sealing
While insulation does a great job of protecting your home from heat loss in the winter and heat gain during the summer, it doesn’t offer much protection from air movement. This is why our home performance specialists often recommend air sealing in tandem with insulation upgrades. Air sealing enhances the benefits of insulation by further strengthening your home’s thermal barrier and can even help protect certain insulation materials from premature degradation.
